Just putting the finishing touches to this years Halloween party for the kids and I am looking for any Scooby Doo titles in colour & sound. I am only after the 400ft versions and not the 200ft ones.

Any members with a copy for sale, please post reply or contact me via email. craighamilton39(at)btinternet(dot)com

I hear you Craig! I'd love to have a Scooby Doo 400ft! I already have the Flinstones and Jetsons in 400ft, but Scooby Doo would be a real find!

At my knowledge, the 200ft techno film reels could be splice together to have a whole episode of Scooby Doo. It's the same with goldorak...

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on September 20, 2008, 10:07 AM:

So I take it the Technofilm versions would take one episode and make three 200ft releases of it? (as, it would take three 6 or seven minute cartoons to make one 30 minute segment of Scooby Doo, as the early stories were one full 22 minute episode long, minus ads.

Posted by Edouard Dubertret (Member # 852) on September 20, 2008, 11:34 AM:

I have 6 or 7 200ft reels of Scooby Doo released by techno film and on this 200ft reels you have just the begining or the end of an episode.To have an episode, you must have the two 200ft extract of the episode. For example, with the film SC1055 + SC1056, you have an episode with a mysterious robot in an attraction park the night.

Yes, you are alright Osi, I don't know if this is the "whole" episode but seems to be, because you don't have any credits...

I have a 400 ft Techno Scooby with original box ..it is The Backstage Rage. Color still good. You can tell it has had some editing, but not much. Found it on Ebay this past year. Runs about 20 minutes or so.

Gary,

Does that 400ft have the original opening theme song and animation? (You know, the haunted house, the bats fly by and
the spooky lettering of Scooby Doo appears?

If you don't, believe it or not, you can end up placing it on your film, but with a little difficultly.

A kids toy company called "Pocketflix" which had little round cassettes of about a minute of film each, released a Scooby Doo pocketflix. The little one minute scene was actually the whole opening.

There's just one catch ...

It's not in sound. So, if you can find it, and add mag stripe to it AND record off of a DVD or some scource, PRESTO!!
You can have the complete opening!

Thanks Osi,

It's a great idea!! find a picture of the Scooby Doo Pocketflix movie viewer! here :

I will try to find one.

Edouard

Oh Boy Edouard!

That really brings back some really fun memories!! and the very cassette it came with was Scooby Doo!! I forgot that! I think that the players actually came with different titles, so if you find a brand new one, verify that it comes with Scooby Doo.

I had so much fun with these pocketflix movies. I actually was able to safely crack open the cassettes, and I put in clips from Star Wars and other stuff, even home movies in it.

As far as I know, it was the first battery operated player in America (that is, for kids), the earlier ones were hand cranked.

I found some player like that (not necessarily from "Pocket Flix") used LPP stock.

And some use 14-16 fps to save footage.

Finally, I heard Derann still printed for a Hong Kong company until 2000s.

cheers,

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on September 23, 2008, 10:18 AM:

The great thing about "Pocket Flix" was that they didn't limit them to 14-16 fps, but the full 24 fps, so if you took them out of the little cassettes, it would play rather nice on your home projector. I had made a whole 200ft reel of the titles. I can't remember all of them, but I had

Star Trek (original series)
Scooby Doo
King Kong (1976, death of Kong)
Bad News Bears
Emergency (70's TV show)

Can't remember the others off hand.

For that kind of a toy, it was rather compact, and except for the enormous use of batteries, it was awesome!

I had one with a Superman cartoon (early Flescher). I think it was the volcano one.

You can actually still find these at some novelty shops today. I found mine at a comic book store last year. There was one with clips from the movie "Dirty Dancing", to my surprise.
